    Overwatch 2: 20,000 players ahead of you 0 players ahead of you *Unexpected server error has occurred* 20,000 players ahead of you

  • KyleTheWynner Kyle Wynn (@KyleTheWynner) reported

    @GreenEyedZeke Overwatch community's been mad for literally 3 years straight. The SMS requirement that outright doesn't work with some carriers is silly. But the game itself is super fun and they fixed most of the significant issues.

  • VenomissUK VENOMISS (@VenomissUK) reported

  • Bat_Bean Bat Bean (@Bat_Bean) reported

    Blizzard: got this idea... CEO: go on. Blizzard: let's make overwatch 2 free and get more players CEO: that is genius... And we can reduce the amount of servers for launch right even though there will be more players? Blizzard: shouldn't be a problem. Me: ffs. #Overwatch2 #PS5

  • TMODOA1 TMODOA (@TMODOA1) reported

    I can’t login to @PlayOverwatch. Because it’s saying enter a post paid phone number. WHAT ******** DO YOU THINK IM DOING. **** OVERWATCH 2.

  • PH7RAOH PHΛЯΛӨH (@PH7RAOH) reported

    I find it strange that so many people wish for Overwatch 2 to have wide appeal and more players but in the same breath disregard console players’ issues or problems. How are you ignoring the concerns of the people you want to attract to your game just because they’re not on PC?

  • CaseyTheVA Casey Mongillo (ケイシ・モンジロ) (@CaseyTheVA) reported

    @K0K0ze Honestly don't know. I'm new to Overwatch. I'd imagine PC players will have community servers down the line, though.

  • NinjaPotts Vicky (@NinjaPotts) reported

    I know other games lock heroes behind battle passes and this is very 'why isn't overwatch just *For MEE??*' but I just really cba with this type of live service delivery. I just wanna get into it every couple of weeks/months and play a few games with my friends then break.

  • DegenParadox Paradox (@DegenParadox) reported

    Overwatch servers shutting down in preparation for OW2 only for the servers to STILL have issues is text mark Blizzard lmfao

  • hai_matilda Matilda (@hai_matilda) reported
